Haha! Good luck guys! Unfortunately the Japs are still sore over losing WW2 and don’t let foreigners do anything except teach English. Maybe why their economy has stagnated for 20 years. Such spaztics!

And they have an unemployment rate of 4.1% since the job robbers aren’t allowed to come in and destroy companies the way they have in the west.

I feel this article doesn’t really address the other side of the coin:

Japanese firms are genuinely looking to expand their markets, keep foreign employees in Japan and hire more foreigners in general. However, that statement is limited almost exclusively to people who can speak 2-kyuu level Japanese, fit well into Japanese business culture and are willing to work the overwork hours and pay traditional fealty to the bosses.

In other words, there is almost zero desire on the part of the vast majority of Japanese companies, either inside or outside Japan, to change their work or management culture in the slightest to accommodate for the expectations of foreigners in terms of compensation, culture, working hours or general benefits. Japan is a very proud and traditional society, and as foreigners here we have three choices in my opinion: assimilate and work at Japanese firms, work at foreigner-owned firms or just go back to our own countries.
